    In this video, I learn a lesson on the oldest Martial Art in history, Kalaripayattu, a style founded in Southern India supposedly in the 15th century. While they have some really cool weapons like katara, Kuntham, Gada, Urumu, Val Parija, and more... thats not what we're after today. I learn from Shinto Mathew a part of a Meipayattu and also learn some important history about the worlds oldest Martial Arts Style!

    Wrestling does not involve weapon systems. Kalari is known as the OLDEST MARTIAL ART because it had a full fledged system of Armed and Unarmed combat. The number of weapon styles in Kalari is in the dozens.

      Why are you acting like there were no soldiers and armed and unarmed combat training before Kerala discovered its own? Egypt and other cultures gone to war way before that. Since the dawn of human history, probably starting with spears, bows, rocks and sticks humans learned to use and fight with while hunting-gathering and surely sometimes used it against each other during tribal wars.

      @@deductivevariance3497 what hes trying to say is that Kerala made its own martial art. It did not invent fighting. A martial art is when you have a series of techniques that kind of all revolve around one or a few different principals. Every human has recognized fighting as fighting but there were no actual techniques that qualify for something from a martial art before Kalari.

      Kalaripayattu is considered one of the oldest martial arts. However, the style itself wasn't the oldest; it was developed by C.V.N Kalari master. Initially, it focused solely on weapon-based fighting methods. Their unarmed combat resembles sword strikes, akin to the techniques found in karate and kungfu. This style is primarily practical in armed combat, emphasizing distance fighting over ground fighting and wrestling with attacks. I'm pleased to share this information with you. Thank you.

    I fought kalari fighters 6 times in a ring.
    1) You'll be very uncomfortable and it will take time for you to get used to the strange, low stance they take. It limits your offence options and decreases your Defence.
    2) The fuckers hit extremely hard. I mean it. They use their momentum and generate great power in their strikes. You'll be surprised how much they can hurt you from a very short distance.
    +
    3) They hit multiple attacks at once. One knee of the kalari fighter hits your solar plexus and at the same time he also punches your face.
    Observations:
    (I don't know if Kalari originated from Mahadev or parasuram or whoever, but I can understand at once that this art came to use in a time where, fighters had no armour or had soft armour, like leather or chainmail or both together. soft armour, because Kalari tries to hit your soft body parts with their hard parts with full force
    also
    It also is an aggressive art, you can tell, as it aims to finish fights as quickly as possible, it's not like many arts that has been made into sports so there is standing and fighting for a said amount of time)

      No. Kalari was believed to be developed during the times of great conquerors of south-most India as a warfare. The warrior class of Kerala could preserve it. Part of the reason was that Kerala never saw any mass scale invasion of foreign rulers. Due to this reason, the masters of Kerala could preserve the ancient philosophy, medicine, warfares such as Kalari.

The stance at the very beginning of the form too, especially the first two parts of it.

    ) the wife of Shiva. Who was summoned from the primordial void , to defeat a demon (who when a drop of his blood hit the ground ,would clone himself. So Khali had to do a "dance" to defeat the demon and catch all the blood.( that and she had to consume the demons or drain them of blood..the first vampire!!!)This dance is the basis of kaliarepiyatu The dance of khali.

      Lived in a cave for years, may or may not have started at a wall for 9 years. But he did teach the monks that came to visit to
      Him 21 or 23 "movements" that allowed the monks to develop there own take on kung fu. (He also taught them advanced meditation practices and breathing ,tai chi etc.) Before Lord Ta Mo, Shaolin was weak and persecuted. Subjected to raiders just coming in and taking what they wanted. (the raiders were using old kung fu if you will.) Afterwards they taught the world Shaolin kung fu. They similarities are so striking its undeniable between kaliarepiyat and Shaolin. Even most of the Lohan's and teokins are similar.

      Exactly right..... But that's where kalari hits you with a curve ball.... After the meipaytu (just excercise) , the kolthari paytu (sticks and staff fight) and the sharp weapons... You are finally, after mastering all of this taught hand to hand and hand v weapon fight ..... So yeah, a master could hold off a knife in a street fight

    What I really like about the kalaripayattu demonstrations I see on the internet is how complete the martial art is, very versatile. But I am not into some of the excessive movements, such as the jumping and flailing about. Kalaripayattu is interesting and has quite a beautiful history behind it, It just seems that there is a disconnect from the modern practice and what was more likely the historical practice

    All these people who say Kalaripayattu isn't at the level of todays martial arts are just ignorant ... Its a Battlefield art ... It is highly based on animal movements , using gravity at an advantage and constant movements to stay away from strikes with momentum ... No one can master kalaripayattu completely unless they start from an early age of 3-4-5 ... Because it is highly dependent on the flexibility of the body and takes extreme load on the Body and your body is very flexible when young and it keeps getting stiffer as you old thats why they started from very young , Hence The world is yet to see a Complete Kalari Artist and may only see it in patches or in hybrid forms as in kalari they dont allow the kalari artisys to use it for show to keep its aesthetic and its traditions alive as it isnt just a Martial art but more than that it is exploring the physical at its highest in every form , back then it was only allowed in battlefield not even in self defense , in self defense ...They also teach Kalari chikitsa which means healing and massaging of the body after each session they massage themselves with oil to keep physical flexibility at its highest and to promote recovery and healing at its Max ... , The goal of the Martial arts is to become a Complete warrior using any environment or objects to survive and fight , It is said a Kalari Martial Artists Spine is the most erect and flexible capable of moving at animal speed ... You can watch the Martial Artist and Action Hero Vidyut Jammwal who is a Kalaripayattu Master himself ... The level at which he delivers strikes in his training and some movie scenes with different styles , 3rd eye training where he is blindfold , Animal Movements its unreal , he also said that when one becomes a Master ... One has to develop and innovate new weapons and exercises to keep it evolving ...which sadly lost after the British era where they banned the Martial art for 200-300 years .

    Kalaripayattu may be the oldest known martial art of India. And it influenced or started the developement of all asian martial arts.
    But we also know, that "Pankration", which had kneestrikes, punches and kicks, clinching and wrestling in it, was practiced in Greece from way before it was for the first known time part of the a olympic games in 648 BC.
    Fun fact: Sometimes styles/arts are ignored or never gained the deserved popularity. "Boxe Francaise" aka "Savate" for example is at least 200, possibly 300 years old and should be considered the first modern "Kickboxing Style" practiced as a sport, even before the first ring was build for Muay Thai as a modern "kickboxing combat sport".

      @@SenseiSeth, you mean Savate? As early as 1820 it became a sport in France. This was the time Michel Casseux wrote a book called (translated) "The Art of Savate". It went from "streetfighting" to sport in gyms like "Fencing schools" at this time. The further development came with Charles Charemont, around 1900, who brought more from the "English Boxing" of the same period into it. ruclips.net/video/I-2aZOZNMqc/видео.html

      @J 1995, yes and no.
      Yes, it is difficult to find proof. And yes, there may be other styles of "Chinese Kung Fu" that had at least at first no connection to India. Maybe the more "daoistic" "Qigong" and "Wudang" styles.
      But all "Chinese Kung Fu Styles" claiming to be in connection to the Shaolin Temple, are in an "indian Lineage", because there was taught the "Arhat Fist" or "Luohan quan" which is a buddhistic "Chinese Kung Fu Style". I am not sure if it is really connected to the Kalaripayattu of today, but it is more than possible, that the "Shaolin Kung Fu" is as much influenced by India as the Shaolins buddhism.

    You should probably also look at Angampora. It has weapons, grappling, striking, medicine, meditation and even a pressure point system that at the highest level, teaches you to attack pressure points in even elephants (seems stupid but this was also designed for war and war elephants were a thing back then in Sri Lanka). It was also banned during British colonial era and practitioners were shot in the knee to disable them and prevent them from teaching it. Ajantha Mahantharachchi is a legit practitioner I think. Don't know for sure.
